Driving to a meeting today saw this beauty coming up on my rearview mirror with 2 chicks inside. Had to take a pic. I think they were actually taking shots of the car since there was a Q7 in front with Audi logos everywhere and a photographer on the backseat. They had both Michigan plates and I'm in Miami...

1st off, that first pic you took in your side-view mirror is awesome! If I had an R8, that would be my picture. Looks like it's coming after you!
2nd. I don't know if I really like that gas cap. I kept thinking I was looking at a Nissan symbol.

The cap does not look that bad at all but I can tell you that looks way hotter than I thought, the front end is sweet the leds is so dawn bright.

I wish I had a chance to drive the R tronic. The manual gearbox was hawt but I'm very curious about the R tronic. Sexy if the A5 autobox is R tronic, doubt it.

Nice pics. My friend's neighbor has one of these, it really does look even more amazing in person.
Watch the road! I snap pics while driving all the time haha.

Very nice spot. Probably company car from MI considering the Audi headquarters is 20 mins from me. They are relocating sometime soon. My friends dad works for Audi has a brand new Q7 and is hella cheap , he gets a new one every 6 months. Wish I worked for Audi...

I hate to be ocd, but does it bother anyone else that the engine isn't exactly in the middle of the car, it's offset a little?

I think I am going to sell my house and live in an R8.
Can I use someone's shower?
Seriously, that is the hottest car I have seen in a while. The white is freaking amazing...

Good catch - I read in one of the mags that it's slightly offset to mate up with the transmission. Audi tried to mask it with the engine decoration, but it is slightly offset... [az]
